	Trim the Velvet, The Maid Behind the Bar (1923) - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes, Gennet 5283, Harry Race - piano. This is Ennis's second recording of these reels; he'd record them once more, in 1929. I came across a remark once that he tended to mix up the parts of the two tunes as he went along, but don't hear that myself, although it can happen.

	Judy Hynes, Sullivan's Jig - Jimmie McLaughlin Irish bagpipes solo, Gennet 5356, Federic D. Wood - piano. As far as I know no biographical information has come to light about McLaughlin. His piping has much in common with Tom Ennis's, lively danceable music cleanly played. Both of these jigs, down to the settings and regulator accompaniment, were also recorded by Ennis; Judy Hynes Ennis called Nancy Hynes, and a setting from his father's piping is in the Music of Ireland...

	Trim the Velvet - Reels - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Cardinal 2029, John Muller - piano. This is Ennis's first released recording of this pair of reels. The second tune he called the Maid Behind the Bar on his 1923 recording, which was the usual title for it. In O'Neill's Music of Ireland it was called Kiss the Maid Behind the Barrel, which has become the more standard title. Amusingly enough some musicians play one tune and not the other, as they have structural similiarities which can lead to confusion about which tune is be...

	The Pigeon on the Gate, The Milliner's Daughter - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Edison Bell Winner 5218. Walsh plays the Pigeon in A, as did Felix Doran on his 78 recorded in the 50s. It appears in the Leo Rowsome Collection in both A and E setttings. The A setting played by these pipers goes up to high C, not an insurmountable difficulty with a good chanter but requiring shifting position on the fiddle, which is difficult to do at speed. Thus some Donegal fiddle versions avoid the high C, or are set in the more fiddle friendly key of G... Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm Downloads: 499
	Irish Polkas - Tom Ennis and John Gerrity Irish bagpipes and fiddle, Gennet 5003, Paddy Muldoon - piano. The tunes are My Love is But a Lassie Yet, the Jenny Lind, and the Rose Tree. I know of only one other 78 RPM recording of a polka by a piper. Dublin piper Tommy Reck recorded a set on a 70s LP of "Two Polkas," and in the liner notes Breandan Breathnach remarked on musicians being rather blase about the titles of these tunes, considering them not as worthy as the jigs, reels, and hornpipes.

	Conroy's Reel, The Glenallen - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca label, number unknown. Conroy probably refers to Andy Conroy, a Roscommon piper who was a close friend of Leo's, and probably his opposite in musical sensibilities - Andy's playing was almost experimental in its staccato, and he almost always played just the chanter - no drones. The tune Leo plays is called the Boys of Cappaquin in O'Neill's, and nowadays the Boy in the Gap... Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm; Fiddle Downloads: 773
	Believe Me if all Those Endearing Young Charms, Killarney, The Last Rose of Summer - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Ted Levy - piano, Victor 18286. The first and last are lyrics of Thomas Moore's, Killarney is a composition of Michael Balfe, a Dublin born opera composer. This tune was also recorded on cylinder by piper Patsy Touhey, and flute player John Sheridan paired Believe Me and Killarney on a 78 in the late 20s. These are all sentimental songs which would've brought many a tear to audiences of the vaudeville houses Ennis and Touhey performed in.

	Murphy's Hornpipe, Londonderry Clog, MacNamara Hornpipe - Hornpipe Medley No. 3 - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Victor 18366. Fiddler Michael Coleman recorded another Murphy's hornpipe in the 30's, with multiple parts. "Clog" was a term for a type of complex hornpipe suited for dancing in clog boots; generally these were fiddle compositions, usually in flat keys. Despite the title this tune isn't usually considered a clog. Ennis later recorded this as a duet with fiddler James Morrison, as the Londonderry hornpipe...

	Gallowglass, The Girl at the Spinning Wheel - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM1001. The first jig is a complex tune, derived from the Scottish Niel Gow's Lament for (the Death of) his Brother. Leo really shows his command of the regulators in the Girl at the Spinning Wheel, most notably with his marvelous syncopation and the big gC - gB chord at the end of each part. A friend who played Leo's pipes said they fairly played themselves, they were so airtight and had such light playing reeds, which goes far to explain how he could casually use effec...

	The Fisherman's Widow - Shaun O'Nolan Irish bagpipe solo, Columbia 33085-F. O'Nolan billed himself as the "Wicklow Piper," but his piping seems to have little in common with famous Leinster pipers such as the Doran brothers or Leo Rowsome; his charming punchy style is much more reminescent of others who recorded in America such as Tom Ennis. O'Nolan recorded a few piping solos in 1925-26 but his subsequent recorded output over the next five years were vocal discs, backed by a piano, sometimes with clarinet and violin thrown in...

	The Hunt - Nelius O'Cronin Irish bagpipes solo, Parlophone E3615. O'Cronin played with Leo Rowsome in the All Ireland Trio, according to Leo's son Liam. O'Cronin played flute in the group, Leo pipes, Seamus O Mathuna fiddle. O'Cronin also founded the Cork Volunteer Pipe Band. He died in 1930. I have always thought this was Leo himself playing the pipes, it is such beautiful music, and of such a high standard of playing. The original disc had a chip in its side, hence this dub beginning a few seconds into the recording. Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm Downloads: 675
	Flogging Reel - Old Ireland Quartette Irish bagpipes, fiddle, flute, and cello. Beltona label. The lineup here is William Andrews, pipes, James Cawley, flute, and Frank O'Higgins, fiddle, backed by the cello (name unknown), which along with Andrews's chugging on his regulators gives a quite unique sound. Cawley and O'Higgins also recorded with piper James Ennis in the Fingal Trio, one recording of which is on this site. A 78 of Andrews is featured here as well...

	Boy in the Boat, The Morning Dew - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W5246. The Boy in the Boat is unique to Leo as far as I know, and very much a piping reel, with its prominent cranning on the bottom D. Leo's full stop just before proceeding into the second tune is a wonderful effect. Chicago piper and solid Rowsome fan Joe Shannon recorded this tune on the 70s LP he made with fiddler Johnny McGreevy, The Noonday Feast. The Moring Dew isn't the reel recorded by Michael Coleman, but rather the tune almost always called the Woman of the... Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm Downloads: 850
	The Maid of Mount Kisco, The Yellow Tinker - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W5245. The Maid(s) of Mount Kisco is said to be a composition of Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran, who recorded it in the 30s. His recording can be heard on the CD From Ballymote to Brooklyn, which is compiled from Killoran/James Morrison anthologies released by the Shanachie label in the 70s. Killoran played it very much as a fiddler might, with a prominent bowed triplet in the first bar; flute players and pipers like Leo very quickly substituted more standard rolls, and ...

	The Peeler's Jacket, The Duke of Leinster - Michael Carney and James Morrison Irish bagpipes and violin, Columbia 33350-F. See solo recordings of these musicians for biographical information. Carney gave lodging to Morrison upon his arrival in New York City, and they made for a marvelous duet. The name of the first tune is inevitably used for another reel. Willie Clancy recorded it on a 78 in the late 50s on the Gael-Linn label, calling it Michael Carney's Reel. Subsequently (?) he took to calling it the Ravelled Hank of Yarn, by which title it is now known...

	Humours of Bandon - Long Dance - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Cardinal 2029, John Muller - piano. Ennis also recorded this tune (and the same set of reels on the flipside of this disc) in 1923 as a duet with fiddler James Morrison. Ennis's recordings always say "Long Dance" for this kind of tune; another term, "Set Dance," is more commonly used now. These are tunes in jig time (such as this one) or hornpipe time (the Blackbird for instance), which have a few extra bars, usually in the second part...

	The Coulin - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Okeh 4490, John Muller - piano. Francis O’Neill considered this “The Queen of Irish Airs.” Its subject was an Irish hairstyle, long flowing locks, which the English attempted to ban in the 14th and 16th centuries. It was a great favorite of the old harpers and the pipers who suceeded them; Thomas Moore wrote verses in English to it as well.

	Bag of Potatoes, Templehouse Reel, Pigeon on the Gate - Tom Ennis and James Morrison Irish bagpipes and fiddle, Columbia A3679, John Muller - piano. The second and third reels are solos by Morrison and Ennis, who then go back into the Bag of Potatoes, an attractive device.

	Leitrim Fancy, The Cork Hornpipe - Leo Rowsome and Frank O'Higgins Irish bagpipes and violin, REX 5001. This record had "HIGGINS - VIOLIN" which almost certainly refers to Dublin fiddler Frank O'Higgins, a popular artist both on radio and recordings. I believe Frank was also the fiddler on the marches and jigs already reissued on Topic LP/CD. The Leitrim Fancy comes from Michael Gallagher's 78, also to be heard on this site. The Cork Hornpipe was an old name for the tune usually called the Harvest Home... Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm Downloads: 1,178
	The Pigeon on the Gate, The Congress Reel - Felix Doran Irish bagpipes solo, Copley 9-194, recorded in the Moore Street studio, Dublin, 1949. Doran came from a family of travelling people; his brother Johnny was a renowned piper of phenomenal talent, who was also recorded on acetate disks two years previously. These disks were played on the radio in the late 60s and copied by fans, and became a source of inspiration for many modern pipers, showing astounding technique, imagination, and inspiration...

	The Green Mountain, Rakish Paddy - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, HMV B1930. Tom Ennis had recorded the Green Mountain a year or two before, calling it the Maid Behind the Bar. Like Rakish Paddy it is one of the staples of the piper's repertoire. Walsh's music here is very lively albeit taken at a fearsome pace.

	Cherish the Ladies - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes, Gennet 5283, Harry Race - piano. Ennis has a fascinating setting of this old five part jig, said to be a composition of the famous piper Jackson. There is also a nice two part setting from Sligo as well, recorded by both Michael Coleman and his student Hughie Gillespie, called the Pathway to the Well in a tunebook published by Mayo fiddler John McGrath.

	The Cup of Tea, The Flogging Reel - Phil Martin Irish bagpipes solo, Regal-Zonophone IZ 711. Martin was from Ballagh, Co. Fermanagh. He was a very dedicated piper, travelling far and wide to meet up with other musicians (despite being physically frail) and playing often on the radio, One person he inspired to take up the instrument was Sean MacAloon of Belfast, who taught many pipers in turn. Martin died in the late 30s at a young age. He usually played a flat set of pipes, pitch around 'C', but on this disc plays a concert 'D' set...

	The Blackbird (HMV version) - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, HMV B1947. Walsh re-recorded this for Decca nine years later. It is interesting to compare the two version, he seemed to gain confidence in his playing and have more of a sense of arrangement, as well as keeping his tempo down.

	The Lark in the Morning, The Rose in the Heather - Martin Feeney Trio Irish bagpipe chanter, fiddle, flute, unknown label and recording date. The exact name of this ensemble eludes me at the moment. Martin Feeney is the flute player; the piper is Andy Conroy, a Roscommon musician who played in an exceedingly staccato style, almost experimental in ways, which he puts on hold for these excellent sets of tunes.

	The Boys of the Lough, The Green Mountain - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM525. Rowsome's playing of the Boys of the Lough puts to rest the notion that he was merely an "Open piper," being chock full of precisely played staccato that is the equal of anybody (despite one squawk on the bottom D that is one of his rare recorded slipups). In fact I think he plays it a bit more staccato than Patsy Touhey did, and Touhey was the ne plus ultra of that sort of piping...

	Ragan's Jig, Nora Greena - Tom Ennis Irish pipes, unknown piano player, Columbia 33394-F, also released in England. Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran recorded a three part version of the first jig under the title the Luckpenny, and it is his version and name that are generally used nowadays. The title of the second jig is a corruption of the Irish Nóra Chríonna (Wise Nora). Such corruptions are common in old tunebooks. The great Clare piper Willie Clancy called this setting "Patsy Touhey's version," according to Pat Mitchell, editor o...

	The Blackbird (Decca version) - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Decca F3817. Walsh had recorded this earlier, but this version is much more exciting, with almost a "Scotch snap" feel in places, and an amazing syncopation between regulators and chanter, that is characteristic of the sides he made for Decca in 1933. Also the tempo is much more moderate than the often rushed speeds of his earlier sides. The flip side of this was Walsh's version of the reel the Bucks of Oranmore, which may be heard on Rounder's CD From Galway to Dublin.

	Louden's Bonnie Woods And Braes - Patrick Fitzpatrick Irish bagpipes solo, Lyric 4117, NYC ca 1919. Irish bagpipes solo, Lyric 4117, NYC ca 1919. Fitzpatrick was a Leitrim flute player who learned the Highland pipes as a teenager in Scotland, and took up the Irish pipes in America. He was a sucessful buisnessman who built a venue, Celtic Hall, in New York City, and also toured with various vaudeville companies. His simple lively piping, augmented by his intermittent taps and chords on his regulators, is typical of the pipers recorded in America at ...

	Three Little Drummers, Connaughtman's Rambles, The Joy of My Life, Nancy Hynes, Kerrigan's Jig - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Ted Levy - piano, Victor 18286. This long medley of jigs starts with a tune which has long been popular with Scottish pipers; the Connaughtman's Rambles and The Joy of My Life (better known as the Donnybrook Jig) are still staples among amateur players of Irish music. Nancy Hynes is a version of the well-known jig Banish Misfortune; it was later recorded by piper Jimmie McLaughlin as Judy Hynes, which is also featured on this site...

	Will you Come With Me?, The Rambling Pitchfork, Nell Flaherty's Drake - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Edison Bell Winner 5219. The first tune is generally titled Will You Come Home With Me? This is another tune Walsh may have passed on to Willie Clancy, who was a friend and admirer of Walsh's. The Pitchfork Walsh re-recorded a few years after this - the exact date of these recordings Walsh made with the flat set of pipes I'm not certain of. From the sound of things he had a bit of difficulty fingering the flat chanter, possibly owing to his missing the index finger of his le...

	Humours of Bantry, Humours of Cappagh, Rakes of Clonmel - Leo Rowsome and His Irish Piper's Band Irish bagpipes, violin, drum, HMV IM480. Two of this charming trio's recordings were reissued on the Classics of Irish Piping LP/CD. According to Sean Reid (who wrote the reissue's liner notes) it was an impromptu recording of Leo and two studio musicians who weren't players of Irish music, but read off charts Leo wrote out on the spot. The Humours of Bantry is called the Blackthorn Stick in Scotland, which title is used for another jig nowadays in Ireland, and was also the title of a reel Micha...

	The Banks of the Suir - Nelius O'Cronin Irish bagpipes solo, Parlophone E3615. O'Cronin played with Leo Rowsome in the All Ireland Trio, according to Leo's son Liam. O'Cronin played flute in the group, Leo pipes, Seamus O Mathuna fiddle. O'Cronin also founded the Cork Volunteer Pipe Band. He died in 1930. I have always thought this was Leo himself playing the pipes, it is such beautiful music, and of such a high standard of playing.

	The Flogging Reel - Liam Walsh and J. O'Mahoney Irish bagpipes and fiddle, unknown piano player, Edison Bell Winner 3913. James O'Mahoney was featured in Francis O'Neill's book Irish Musicians and Minstrels. According to Tommy Kearney Walsh and O'Mahoney were "great pals." The Flogging Reel was often recorded on 78s, and many different versions exist for comparision. Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm Downloads: 680
	Kid on the Mountain - Hop Jig - Tom Ennis and James Morrison Irish bagpipes and fiddle, Vocalion 14588, John Muller - piano. This was said to be in the repetoire of the great piper Patsy Touhey. Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman recorded it in the 30s, which added greatly to its popularity, which continues to this day. As far as I know this is the earliest recording of this jig, although Galway piper Dinney Delaney also used the Kid on the Mountain title for another tune he recorded in 1898.

His sons Mick and Jim were pipers as well, Jim being made a patron of Na Píobairí Uilleann, the Dublin based pipers' club, in 1987; he passed away in 2002.

	The Job of Journeywork - William Andrews Irish bagpipe solo, not sure of the label and date but most likely Parlophone, September 1928. Andrews was a Dubliner who played both the Uilleann/Union and War pipes. He learned the Irish pipes from Nicholas Markey, a pupil of the famous piper/pipemaker Billy Taylor. Markey also taught piping to Seamus Ennis's father James. Like all the old time pipers Andrews has a very charming and fun style, and while not a virtuoso, and also reputedly a bit nervous in the studio, his music is very spirited...

	Sarsfield's Jig, The Rakes of Clonmel - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes solo, Keltic 1001, unknown - piano. I have another dub with the "This record was made exclusively for the Keltic company" introduction, presumably done to discourage bootlegging - many recordings of this era were issued on multiple labels, presumably not always legally. Patsy Touhey recorded both of these jigs on wax cylinders, in his usual fiery style. It is also of interest that accordionist Frank Murphy also recorded these jigs under the banner Sarsfield's title.
